Chapter 757 Thought Control

“…” Li and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was not difficult to hear that the woman in front of them had the same tone as the electronic sound of the escape tower.

But what really made them hesitate was the appearance of this person.

Although the other party looked like a human, as long as a little careful observation was taken, it was easy to find many abnormalities on her body. For example, her eyes were extremely complex, with many rings overlapping in the pupils, and even a glimmer of light could be seen. Her hair was a rare green color, tied into a single ponytail with a hairband, almost hanging down to her waist, but the hair did not look like it was naturally stretched out. Under the reflection of the car lights, it would actually have a faint orange halo.

In addition, there was a string of characters marked under the woman's collarbone. It was not a tattoo or a brand, but a crystal embedded in the skin. When she spoke, the string of crystals would flicker with the rise and fall of her tone, which was definitely not a feature of normal people or monsters.

Of course, Li paid more attention.

As a sensitive fox demon, she immediately discovered that this person was not breathing. The woman's chest was flat and her nose was motionless, which made her tail stand up. In a sense, only dead people would be like this. If the other party had not shown any hostility, her thunder magic would have been about to be used.

"Uh... mind control?" Xia Fan was the first to react.

"Exactly." The woman tilted her head, "I wonder if this appearance can meet your requirements?"

Li and others looked over.

Xia Fan hurriedly said in his heart, "When did I ask for this?"

"'Can you not speak suddenly? At least let me be mentally prepared.'" She answered in a recording, and this sentence was exactly Xia Fan's original voice before, "Humans' so-called psychological preparation starts from the eyes, that is, they need to see a dialogue entity, and this body is a suitable anchor point."

The former was speechless for a moment, and it must be said that this is indeed in line with the logic of the system.

"So you were looking for this during the time you disappeared?"

"I originally planned to build a three-dimensional projection, but since you are leaving the escape tower area, you also hope that I can provide technical assistance, and the projection obviously can't do this." Sikong quickly replied, "So I can only use the multifunctional auxiliary puppet to meet Omega's needs."

Multifunctional puppet...

Xia Fan has already seen that in terms of realism alone, this artificial person is obviously very different from a real person, and this difference is by no means limited by technology, but is deliberately created.

"Because there are artificial life forms to fill the needs of pleasure, the mechanical simulation body does not need to be exactly the same." Sikong seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "In fact, this generation of dolls has been discontinued for a long time, and there are not many reserves even in the escape tower. If you want this body to meet more needs, I can also try to modify it..."

"No, no, it's fine like this." Xia Fan interrupted hurriedly, "Let me introduce you, she is the consciousness of the escape tower, named Sikong. The voice you heard before, in a sense, was spoken by her. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the energy diversion project in Jinxia City, she will return with us and provide technical support for the project."

Mo Yun's eyes were straight, "You mean... she is a mechanical person carrying a soul?"

"Uh... you can understand it that way."

"Can I, can I touch her?"

"This..." Xia Fan didn't expect Mo Yun to suddenly make this request, so he could only look at Sikong himself.

"Although her behavior is offensive, I have no objection, because it is just a clone." The latter said directly with his mind, and there was even a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Oh no, this guy is really becoming more and more like a human.

Seeing Xia Fan nodded slightly, Mo Yun was busy around Sikong as if she had found a treasure. It can be seen that she is very interested in this kind of mechanical man who can move freely - after all, in the past, a four-legged mechanical beast could make the Machinery Bureau anxious, and after changing to a two-legged black tortoise, it can only meet the requirements of marching, and it is completely not on the same level as Sikong, a creation whose every move is no different from that of humans.

"If this mind control girl goes with us, what will happen to the patio area?" Li leaned over and whispered, "Will it not be paralyzed?"

"You worry too much. She didn't actually leave the patio area. She just uses this body to see farther." Xia Fan explained, "Of course, before the real seamless communication is established, mind control can't send information back to the patio in real time, so you can temporarily treat her and the escape tower as two individuals."

"It's the same person, but two individuals?" Li scratched his ears, his face was quite puzzled.

Xia could only smile. The person who controlled this puppet was undoubtedly the backup of mind control. In the patio area, the data on both sides can communicate and merge quickly, so they can be regarded as the same person. But in places where the patio signal cannot be transmitted, the puppet can only rely on the stored system to act, thus forming an information gap with the patio. From a human perspective, the "memories" of the two are different.

It's just that it's quite troublesome to explain this to everyone. In addition, once the energy transmission is opened, seamless communication can also be established. At that time, the backup will be no different from the main body, so he didn't plan to elaborate.

"By the way, what did Master Shengtian want to talk to you about yesterday?" Xia Fan changed the subject.

Li's expression suddenly froze.

Then a blush spread across her cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No, nothing..." The fox demon turned away and shook its tail subconsciously, "She just wanted to chat with me about family matters."

"Family matters?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows. According to the agreement, Li would accompany Venerable Shengtian at night during the days in the courtyard. In theory, there was plenty of time to chat, and there was no need to call her over during the day.

"Yes, yes..." Li's face was almost cooked, "What do you think we can talk about? Just some experiences of people who have been through it - no, some experiences in life..."

The fox demon seemed to think that there was something wrong with his words, so he simply took a few steps forward and flashed in front of Venerable Shengtian, making Xia Fan lose the opportunity to ask questions.

The latter's curiosity could not help but rise to the peak.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter what he asked Li, she would answer every question.

If he let Sikong look back at this time, it should not be difficult to find the record of the conversation between the two at that time.

However, Xia Fan thought about it and decided to give up this idea.

Since Li didn't want to answer, he probably had his own reasons. If he used surveillance, he would feel guilty.

If Li accidentally found out, the consequences would be serious.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Fan finally suppressed this little doubt in his heart.
